Measure the length of your bath and whether you need a side panel, an end panel or both; common lengths here are 1700mm for a full-length side panel and 700mm or 750mm for end panels. If your bath is a standard 1700mm, a 1700/700mm pack gives you a matching side and end set, saving you the guesswork. Tongue and groove panels suit a continuous run and give a neater join, while traditional side panels offer a simpler single-piece look. if you have a 1700mm bath with the pipework hidden at one end, a 1700mm side panel plus a 700mm end panel pack will cover both exposed faces.

Traditional MDF panels are usually single-piece fronts with decorative profiling and a straightforward fit, ideal if you prefer a classic look such as Winchester styling. Tongue and groove panels join multiple boards together, which helps create a continuous pattern and can accommodate slight irregularities in your bath aperture. Tongue and groove is a better choice if you want a grooved aesthetic in a gloss finish, while traditional side panels suit a smooth matt or painted appearance. Both are MDF, so they share similar strength, but tongue and groove can mask small gaps between boards.

Solid wood or moulded wood seats like oak, teak or antique pine offer warmth and durability and are shown here with soft close and quick release options for cleaning convenience. If you want the easiest upkeep, quick release or top fix seats allow you to unclip the seat and clean around the hinges without tools. Soft close reduces slamming and is kinder to both seat and pan; a Croydex Flexi-Fix soft close teak seat gives you a durable wooden finish with quiet closing and a quick-release mechanism for hygienic cleaning. If you prefer a budget option, moulded seats in gloss finishes still offer decent durability and simple maintenance.

Use the same family of finishes and tones to keep a cohesive traditional style; the Winchester range comes in matt green, matt blue and matt dark grey, which you can pair with black gloss or grey gloss panels for contrast. Match wooden seats or teak handles to any oak-effect details in your room to add warmth, and coordinate metal finishes on mirrors or handles, chrome, brushed brass and black are available in the range. If you have a painted vanity in grey, choose a grey gloss or Winchester matt dark grey panel to tie the suite together.

Pick a mirror slightly narrower than your basin or vanity unit so it centres visually; a 500 x 700mm oval mirror works well above a 600mm basin, while a 600 x 650mm double-door Oxford mirror cabinet pairs neatly with a 600mm vanity and adds storage. Adjustable mounts on oval mirrors let you angle the glass for light and sightlines, which is handy if lighting is off-centre. If you need storage for toiletries, the Oxford double-door cabinet provides both a traditional look and practical shelving behind the mirrored doors.
